Would be nice...but statistically, people just don't buy stickers as much as they used to. They make them more as give-aways now. And vinyl stickers are about the same. I'd have to make a shit-ton of them to make any real money, and folks tastes change over the years, months maybe. I have some vinyl stickers I had made almost ten years ago, and they were expensive to make. I got a deal for $1.00 a sticker, and to make any return, I'd had to sell them around $5.00 to $7.00 a piece. But I got 50 of them made, so do the math. I got very few takers..and after almost 10 years, the stickers that I had left over, the vinyl they were made from lost their adhesion, and were starting to harden and crack, so in the end it was a waste, and now they are unsellable and unuseable.

Sorry to crap on your idea, but I've tried a lot ideas to make money. Most folks just ain't buying. On the bright side, I'm now doing what I like and what makes me happy. I'm not catering to anyone's whims for the most part (unless of course they want a commission or two). But the stuff I do make, I'll sell on Etsy or sometimes ebay.

I could go on forever on this subject about peoples' tastes..
